GEORGE E. GRAF I thank and praise the Lord for saving me, and for leading me to PhilaBI. The truths received in school have become precious to me. Now I see a greater responsibility upon myself, not just to know these truths, but to pass them on to others for when I use them, I know I shall not lose them. ANNA M. JOHNSON Well of water, ever springing- Bread of life, so rich and freeu Untold wealth that never faileth My Redeemer is to me. This is what the Lord Jesus has come to mean to me through four wonderful years at Philadelphia Bible Institute. My prayer is that others may come to know Him through me. - - 1 I - CLARENCE GUY As the closing days of my study of Gods Word here at the Institute ap' proach and I look back with thanks' giving on the way God has removed obstacles that would have hindered my continuing school, I thank and praise Him, not only for His saving and keep- ing grace, but also for His faithfulness. Great is 'Thy faithfulness. E. ROBERT JORDAN I praise God that He has not only saved me from sin but also chosen me to serve Him. This is the reason that I praise God for PhilaBl and for the Bible training that I have received here, without which I would not be prepared to serve Him. Fiftyfthree ROSE PRICE' HAERING But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strengthg they shall mount up with wings as eaglesg they shall run, and not be wearyg and they shall walk, and not faint. My sole aim is to be in the center of God's will, that I may fulfill His plan for my life. ERNEST E. KASKELA, JR. Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart: for conf sider how great things He hath done for you.

MARGARET COCHRAN I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service, And be not con' formed to this world: but be ye trans' formed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God. BE'I'I'Y DURRWACHTER Why should my Saviour to Calvary go? Why should He love me so? How thankful I am that while still young, I realized Christ loved me and I accepted Him as my Saviour! Since that time He has given me real joy and peace. Life truly begins when Jesus comes in. JOHN COLLINS Take My yoke upon you, and learn of meg for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. As I sit at His feet and learn of Him, I have found a rest unto my soul, a work for my hands and a walk for my feet. THEODORE A. DZEDZY If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. On August 26, 1948, I was born again through the reading of the Bible. Instead of following the ways of the Roman Catholic Church, I started to follow Jesus Christ, my Saviour, and soon realized that my sins had been forgiven. Fiftyftwo GERALDINE DILLON Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courageg be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whither' soever thou goest.
